No, it can't find the file because the mysql database directory is owned
by root.

More like it has already started. Do "ps -ef | grep mysql" to find out.

When I run safe_mysqld, it starts and ends immediatly. In the
mysqld.log
in
/var/log it has the following:
010418 21:19:47 mysqld started
010418 21:19:47 /usr/libexec/mysqld: Can't find file:
'./mysql/host.frm'
(errno: 13)
010418 21:19:47 mysqld ended
Below is the my.cnf file
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
[mysql.server]
user=mysql
basedir=/var/lib
[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid
I ran mysql_install_db and it created database files in
/var/lib/mysql/mysql. The file host.frm does exist in that directory.
I
tried copying those files /var/lib/mysql but it made no difference. I
have
no ethernet card in the machine and therefore it would be running as
localhost.
Any ideas???
Thanks,
Steve
